Before you set a single health goal this year… do this first.

Because here’s what usually happens:

It’s January 9th.
You had a “good” day… until the evening.

The kids finally go down.
You pause for the first time all day.
Your nervous system exhales… and suddenly you’re in the kitchen at 9:47pm…

standing in front of the pantry, eating chips straight from the bag, thinking:
“What is wrong with me?”

Nothing is wrong with you.

You just planned for a perfect version of you…
not the version of you who’s tired, overstimulated, managing kids + work + hormones + life.

So here’s the 10-minute January Plan I have clients do FIRST — before any big goals:

1️⃣ Write your Top 3 derail moments
Be specific: “after bedtime,” “mid-afternoon crash,” “weekend chaos,” “PMS cravings.”

2️⃣ Choose one Tiny Non-Negotiable for each moment
Something you can do even on your worst day (not a full workout + perfect meals).

3️⃣ Decide your Minimum Realistic Week
The bare-minimum plan that still counts as a win… so you don’t quit.

This is how goals stick.
Not with more motivation — with a plan built for real life.

Hot take: “New Year, New You” is bu****it.
Not because goals are bad… but because that message makes you think you need to become a different person overnight.

And that’s exactly why so many women burn out by week two.

When you commit to losing belly fat, toning your muscles, and healing your body, you are shifting your identity and creating new habits. But it’s still YOU.

Flashback to Nov 2023 — 148 lbs:
I was tracking macros. I was working out. I was “doing everything right”…
…but my body wasn’t responding.

And the truth?
The problem wasn’t my willpower.
It was stress + hormones + depleted body systems — my body was living in survival mode.

So I implemented a new plan… and I dropped 27 pounds in 3 months (and kept it off).
Summer ‘24 - 118 lbs ✅
Summer ’25 - 123 lbs. ✅
That’s not luck. That’s strategy.

Then came the next phase this fall: I wanted to grow my abs.

Which meant I had to switch my approach again (spoiler alert… it worked 😉).

That’s exactly why I created my Metabolic Rehab Protocol: a phased plan that helps you adjust your strategy before you plateau, because staying in a calorie deficit forever will keep your results stuck in survival mode.

Instead, we support:
✅ metabolism (so you can actually see progress)
✅ hormones (so your body isn’t fighting you)
✅ stress + nervous system (so your body feels safe enough to change)

Because it’s a new year… but it’s the same you.
And this version of you deserves to feel strong, safe, and sexy — without tracking macros like it’s a second job or spending hours a day in the gym.

Merry Christmas 🎄

This season has reminded me that beneath the gifts, the traditions, and the chaos… it all comes down to gratitude.

Gratitude for family. For love. For health. For the ability to show up fully for the people I care about.

No guilt. No restriction. Just joy.

🤍 🎄 🎅 🫶

I’m not exaggerating when I say this is the ONE thing I wish I had discovered sooner.

Comment DETOX 👇 and I’ll send the link right over.

Because stubborn belly fat, constant inflammation, and stress wrecking your hormones actually are symptoms that come LATER.

What happen first is you don’t get enough nutrients.

And your metabolism slows down.

Your body is just trying to keep you alive, after all.

And your liver stops processing out all those toxins.

Cue the belly fat, back pain, brain fog, inflammation.

Comment DETOX👇 and I’ll share my sale link to the first step in your healing journey.

That’s right 😉 it’s on sale this week and arrives before Jan1.

Most women wait until January to “start fresh,” but here’s the thing:
If you order your at-home labs THIS WEEK, you can get your results back before the year ends — and walk into 2025 with clarity, not guesswork.

These are the exact labs I use to uncover what’s really going on with your stress response, hormones, gut health, toxins, inflammation, metabolism, and more (all broken down inside your free Functional Lab Guide).

If you’ve been dealing with fatigue, bloating, stubborn weight, mood changes, burnout, or sleep issues…
➡️ Data beats willpower every single time.
Let’s get to the root cause now — not after another month of feeling stuck.

Your 2025 health starts with the decisions you make this week. 🎁✨

💌 Comment LABS and I’ll send you my free Functional At-Home Lab Guide so you can see which test is right for you and get yours ordered before the holiday rush.
